Here's my question...I always hear or read that between JTF2 and CSOR now that these units are taking away some of the best soldiers from the regular units...but ultimately the decision on whethere someone can apply or not rests with the CO's sponsorship right?  What happens if the CO just...

Simple question here.  Do officer's really have much of a chance to serve with the special operations units?  It seems that even if they do make it in that they don't get to do too much of the hands on stuff and are stuck with the command role while the NCM's get to carry out the tasks that are...

How come MPO's go to CAP but MP's just have to do BMQ and then MP school?  It sounds flawed to me.  Can someone clarify what the scoop is.

Perhaps someone can tell me what the appropriate dress would be for this occasion.   I am ROTP...therefore I am not required to be on any sort of parade or even present at the Remembrance Day ceremony.   However, I obviously plan on attending.   Do I wear uniform (DEU's), a suit, or just casual...

I'm an ROTP civi-u student at Carleton and I am absolutely fuming at the moment.  I just thought everyone here might want to hear what all of our highly knowledgable first and second year university students think of the CDS and the CF.  Here's the deal...my school INVITED the CDS to come and...

Ok...I know the RMC students complete their basic training at the college...but when do Civi U ROTP students complete their training.  If IAP/BOTC is a 14 week course and I'm only training for 8 weeks of the summer, when do I make up the other 6.  I ask because I was told that next summer is...

I finish IAP at the end of the summer.  Few questions...do you return your uniform and kit etc cause I don't want to haul all that stuff around when I head off to Civi U?  Also, what is the routine for departing St.Jean?  Does it end in the day/evening?  Are there any special functions I am...

I just wanted to know what the letters and numbers mean in regards to my medical evaluation. V3, CV1, H1, G2, O2, A5.......what do these mean?

I've got a dilemma.  I've tried contacting RCMP recruiters to ask this question but they are very hard to get answers from.  I want to become an RCMP officer at some point and I also want to serve my country in the armed forces.  I was recently accepted to ROTP Civi U but am trying to decide if...

I was recently sworn in for ROTP Civi U but I still have no idea how the financial end of things work.  I leave for IAP in two weeks and spend the rest of the summer there.  At some point my school will be sending info regarding fees and registration etc.  Do I have to come up with the $5000+...

The ribbons that service men/women wear on their jackets...what do they mean?  How come some lower ranks (Sgt...LT etc) have a whole bunch of them while some higher ranks have hardly any?

How long is someone allowed to live in barracks or on base?  Would someone be allowed to stay in barracks for the entirety of their contract?  Also, how much does it cost to live on the base?  All of this is assuming the person was infantry.  Thanks for the help. Jordan

OK...I realize I will get the "use the search" speech here, but a simple yes/no answer is all I'm looking for although more would be appreciated.  I am torn between officer or ncm infantry.  I want to be in the field and learn all the cool stuff that the ncm's learn.  Here's my question.  Do...

I am an ROTP applicant that passed my CFAT, interview, fitness etc all well above minimum.  However, my medical clearance got delayed because of a past injury, but a civilian doctor filled out all the paperwork saying I was fine.  My question is this - My selection board was on April 20-21 as in...

I recently applied to ROTP at civilian university and the recruiter told me he would call back within two weeks.  He didn't (big surprise) so I went back to Victoria (from Ottawa) for  a week.  During the time I was gone he called 11 times trying to set up an appointment for an interview and...
